The K-30 model steam generator control features
a 30 minute press on timer lighting up the word
"STEAM" and a thermostatic control preset to
reach 120 degrees Fahrenheit. The primary
control can be mounted either inside or outside
the steam room and an optional 2nd control is
available to mount in an alternate location. The
preset temperature can be adjusted in a range
between 100 degrees and125 degrees Fahrenheit.
Once the set temperature is reached the ''soft
steam'' feature automatically engages cutting
steam production back to a single element to
provide softer billowing steam during more of
the steam bath. If the steam room temperature
drops more than 5 degrees both elements will
automatically engage.
1. Be sure the power circuit and water supply to
the generator are on.
2. Firmly press the ON/OFF button on the control
until the word “STEAM” lights up.
3. The generator should produce steam in 5
to 10 minutes and will turn off automatically in
30 minutes. You may also press the control a
second time to turn off the “STEAM” light and
shut down the generator.
4. If you wish to change the preset temperature
see the instructions in section 3.
5. Wait for the steam room to reach a comfort-
able temperature.
6. Remove clothing and jewelry.
7. Enter the steam room and close the door to
prevent steam from escaping.
8. Enjoy the warm steam releasing tense muscles
and refreshing the entire body.
9. If your steam room has a shower, a pleasant
experience can be achieved by taking a warm
shower with the steam.
10. After a steambath a warm shower will give
you a feeling of relaxation and is conducive to a
good night’s rest. A cold shower will refresh you
and is a good way to start a busy day or prepare
you for an evening out.
1. To adjust the set temperature remove the
snap-on decorative control cover by lifting from
thebottomas shownin diagram#1. (If anoptional
second control is connected only the “primary”
control plugged, into connector J7, can be used
to adjust the temperature) .
2. Using a small slotted screw driver turn the
adjustment pot in the desired direction. See dia-
gram #2. One quarter turn equals approximately
5 degrees of temperature change. Caution: Over
stressing the adjustment pot can damage the
control.
3. Snap the control cover plate back on by sliding
the top of the cover plate onto the control housing
and pushing on the bottom of the control cover
plate. See diagram #3. The new temperature
setting will become effective the next time the
steam is turned on.
